Instead of singing the lyrics Oer the ramparts we watchd, were so gallantly streaming, Xtina sang the line What so proudly we watched at the twilights last gleaming.
Aguileras representatives sent Speakeasy this statement from the singer: I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.

This woman was a professional singer of long standing. It’s amazing that you think a teenager flubbing the words and butchering the “melody” like that fool did is comparable.
Thirty-eight years on the post office, eh? That gave you enough time for, what, 18 months in the Army?
Still, you were the guy going to toss your young grand daughter to a screaming mob of critics ~
Sounded more like one of those Middle Eastern Honor Killings.
Please dont call me a racist, but when did it become obligatory at large spectator events for the national anthem to be sung exclusively by black women?

LOL. Racist? Are you calling Christina Aguillera a black woman?
That is hilarious.
I think that was political. She is a big supporter of the illegals and them being here. It was a slap in the face of America and done on purpose.
my granddaughter, a high school sophomore, has performed the National Anthem, solo, a capella, at several Mizzou sporting events ... never botched the words
< /proud granddad brag>
Brava for her. There's no excuse to mess it up. Only Divas who refuse to rehearse anymore screw it up.
Nice take on your part.
I will now continue to scroll down and hopefully read Elizabeth's response.
SNIX
Mean one that I am, I hope she carries this with her for a loooooong time. If she was not concentrating on ‘HER’ rendition, rather than the Anthem itself, it might not have happened.
I just hope that the powers who select these ?singers? have learned a lesson. Forget the pop stuff and give us a Marine Band. Bet the applause would be the greatest ever.
Keep scrolling (/snix).............
Kiss my snix
Couldn’t agree more. Her choice for the anthem...along with the choice of the BEP’s for that abomination of a half-time show...is merely a reflection of a bunch of rich white guys who run the NFL trying to make the league seem more gee-golly-hip-’n’-s**t, donchaknow.
Makes me sick.
